Webthat vs Ben's Bites

Webthat was a news site that curated IT and technology articles with expert commentary, launched on Product Hunt in January 2023 as a review hub for new websites and tools. The project aimed to help readers discover AI products and software through editorial write-ups rather than raw link dumps.

The webthat.io domain no longer serves that experience. Every fetch during this enrichment returned an empty Apache directory index with no files, pages, or blog posts listed. Third-party directories still describe the old concept, but the live site offers no readable content.

Readers looking for the original Webthat news feed should treat the domain as abandoned. This listing records the shutdown so the directory does not imply an active news product remains online.

Ben's Bites is a Substack newsletter for AI builders that ships twice a week with curated news, tool reviews, and mini-tutorials from founder Ben Tossell. Each issue covers what is worth trying in agents and models, with deeper founder stories and investing commentary mixed in.

Most AI newsletters chase volume. Ben's Bites filters launches through a small team (including an AI specialist who tests models hands-on) and pairs free posts with a paid community chat. The old Beehiiv URL now 404s; the publication lives at bensbites.com with 170,000+ subscribers and a separate news.bensbites.com feed for daily product launches.

Readers include developers and non-technical founders who want vetted picks without scrolling X all day. Paid community access runs $80 per year and unlocks chat with thousands of builders; refer friends to offset the cost.
